Title: Defective ribosomal products in blebs (dribbles) and methods of use to stimulate an immune response
Inventor: HU HONG-MING
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2006-07-27
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for producing defective ribosomal products (DRiPs) in blebs (DRibbles) by contacting cells with a proteasome inhibitor, and in some examples also an autophagy inducer, thereby producing treated cells. DRibbles can be used to load antigen presenting cells (APCs), thereby allowing the APCs to present the DRiPs and antigenic fragments thereof. Immunogenic compositions that include treated cells, isolated DRibbles, or DRibble-loaded APCs are also disclosed. Methods are also provided for using treated cells, isolated DRibbles, or DRibble-loaded APCs to stimulate an immune response, for example in a subject. For example, DRibbles obtained from a tumor cell can be used to stimulate an immune response against the same type of tumor cells in the subject. In another example, DRibbles obtained from a pathogen-infected cell or cell engineered to express one or more antigens of a pathogen can be used to stimulate an immune response against the pathogen in the subject.

Title: Seed koji for brewing, koji for brewing, brewed foods, and method for producing the same
Inventor: SATO YO
IPC: A23L11/20
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a seed koji for brewing, which is suitable for wheat allergy patients and wheat intolerance patients (patients with celiac disease) and the medium of which is completely free from wheat-origin component , a koji for brewing, brewed foods and a method of producing the same. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Whole soybeans are hulled. Akoji mold belonging to the genus Aspergillus is inoculated into the soybean hull thus obtained and cultured therein to give a solid seed koji. By using this seed koji, brewed foods (for example, soy sauce, miso, a liquid seasoning and so on) free from wheat-origin component are produced. Thus, it is possible to obtain a seed koji which is free from wheat-origin component, shows a high sporulation rate of the koji mold and has excellent koji-making properties. Use of this seed koji makes it possible to produce brewed foods which are comparable in qualities to the brewed foods produced by using a seed koji which has been cultured in a wheat medium.

Patent CA-2625366-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KROENING JOHN W
IPC: E05B67/38
Filed: 2008-03-13
Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a lock and first and second movable members. The lock has a body and a shank, but does not have an exposed shackle. The body defines a slot which opens to an outward surface thereof. The shank is movable within the body between a locked position where the shank is within the slot and an unlocked position where the shank is not within the slot. The second member is disposed within the slot of the lock and is operatively associated with the first member. In operation, when the shank is in the locked position, the shank prevents the second member from moving within the slot of the lock, thus substantially preventing the first member from moving. When the shank is in the unlocked position, the second member is able to freely move within the slot of the lock, thus allowing the first member to move.

Patent CA-2647173-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEALEY PETER
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2007-03-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for evaluating the position of a time-varying disturbance on an optical waveguide. The steps include: transmitting sensing signals onto the optical waveguide, which sensing signals have imposed thereon a modulation which is dependent, at least in part, on their time of transmission; receiving returned sensing signals, which signals have been exposed to the disturbance; and, from the previously imposed modulation on the returned sensing signals, evaluating the position of the disturbance. Because the sensing signals have a modulation that is dependent at least in part on their transmission time, the round-trip time for the signals to travel to and from a disturbance can be inferred. From this round trip time, or a value related thereto, it is possible to directly or indirectly evaluate the position of the disturbance.
